I visited the ophthalmologist, the person who measures your prescription, for a check up and to see if I needed a new prescription. After my exam my eyes were measure by the optician and we searched for glasses. I didn't see anything to my liking and so left.
A couple months later I get a prepaid visa card from my health insurance that can be used to order glasses but will only let me order them in a free standing business.
I called up this location and asked for my PD measurement as it wasn't on my prescription. I was told they don't make that measure meant unless you've picked out frames. I do recall the optician making the measurement.
I think the optician doesn't want to give out the measurement because it would drive business away from where they work.
An ophthalmologist, the person who measures your prescription, are trained medical doctors who diagnose eye problems and can perform surgeries. I won't return to this location because of my experience with the optician.
Update: Was called back and spoken to by store. Was informed PD could have been measured but would have been thrown out when glasses weren't ordered. Suggested I come to the store for glasses 3 separate times during 4 minute phone call. I was spoken to politely and apologized to for the "miscommunication". read more
